Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of intelligent milk warmers, in particular to a disinfection steamer and a milk warmer with automatic water addition. Background Art

[0002] In the field of infant care, multifunctional milk warmers have become an indispensable parenting tool in modern families due to their convenience and versatility. Such devices usually integrate multiple functions such as boiling water, milk preparation, milk warming, and disinfection, greatly simplifying the cumbersome steps for parents during the process of feeding and caring for infants. However, in the prior art, there are still some problems to be solved urgently in the use of the disinfection steamer in multifunctional milk warmers.

[0003] First of all, when the traditional multifunctional milk warmer is working with the disinfection steamer, it usually requires the user to manually add water to the specified water level. This step not only increases the operation burden of the user, but also may cause the disinfection to be interrupted due to forgetting to add water or adding water untimely during the disinfection process, affecting the disinfection effect, and even potentially threatening the health and safety of baby products. In addition, manual water addition may also cause water to splash out due to improper operation, resulting in a wet and inconvenient use environment.

[0004] Secondly, for a disinfection steamer that needs to run for a long time, the automatic water replenishment function is particularly important. During the disinfection process, as the water evaporates, the water level in the steamer will gradually drop. If the water source cannot be replenished in time, it will lead to a decline in the disinfection effect and may even damage the device due to dry burning. Therefore, realizing the functions of automatic water supply and automatic water replenishment when the water is insufficient is of great significance for improving the convenience and safety of using multifunctional milk warmers.

[0005] In view of the above problems, although there are already some milk warmers with automatic water addition functions on the market, such as accurately controlling the amount of water added to the disinfection steamer through a flow pump, this solution cannot detect the water level in the disinfection steamer, so the function of automatically adding water when the water level in the disinfection steamer is too low cannot be realized. Another example is to sense the water level in the disinfection steamer through a liquid level sensor, injecting water through a water pump when the water level is too low and stopping adding water when the water level is too high. However, these products often have the defects of complex structure and high cost. Another example is to start the water pump to inject water into the disinfection steamer regularly through the time module of the control component. This solution can only work with a disinfection steamer of a fixed size, and problems such as too much or too little water addition will occur after the size of the disinfection steamer is changed. Summary of the Utility Model

By the time module controlling the first water pump 2 to be regularly turned on during the operation of the disinfection steamer 1 to inject water into the pot body, the situation of the disinfection function being interrupted due to water shortage in the pot body is avoided, so that the pot body always remains in a state of having water, and thus steam is generated by heating to perform steam disinfection on the items to be disinfected in the pot body. The first high water level sensor 13 is communicatively connected to the control component. The first high water level sensor 13 is used to sense the highest water level in the inner cavity of the pot body and then transmit a signal to the control component to enable the control component to control the first water pump 2 to stop injecting water. By the first high water level sensor 13 sensing the highest water level in the pot body, the first water pump 2 can accurately inject an appropriate amount of water into the pot body, solving the problem that only the time module cannot accurately measure the amount of water injected into the disinfection steamer 1. By the cooperation of the time module and the first high water level sensor 13, disinfection steamers 1 of different specifications and sizes can share this control structure, with high versatility and lower product cost.
